assuming SCOTUS accepts the case (hard to see how it won't) it'll probably be about a year before a decision is announced.Although I've always assumed that they announce their big decisions in June although I could be wrong on that.

I wonder of the Government could request "expedited" handling of the case...if there's any such thing with SCOTUS.

But it’s won’t be on this years docket...it will be next year.

The speed of SCOTUS depends on the politics and "urgency." They used to be able to act quickly, and outside of the usual summer vacation schedule they enjoy now.

See Ex parte Quirin, 317 U.S. 1 (1942)

The question for decision is whether the detention of petitioners by respondent for trial by Military Commission, appointed by Order of the President of July 2, 1942, on charges preferred against them purporting to set out their violations of the law of war and of the Articles of War, is in conformity to the laws and Constitution of the United States.

Decided: July 31, 1942

Yes there is. Otherwise it’s just a big dog and pony show.
